    Chatt State is unlike any other college in that you have every opportunity to succeed and faculty and students standing with you to ensure that success. There is an abundance of resources such as free tutoring, food pantry, free counseling, active student government, writing center, math center, and many other resources and people to help you find them. There are several great teachers who you can tell the very reason they teach is to help young students learn and succeed in their academic, professional, and even personal careers. There are several great programs, clubs, and even opportunities to study abroad! Chatt state is wonderful in that it also has great scholarships to help you pay for school and to study abroad! It is truly one of a kind and I recommend anyone to earn their associates, earn a certificate, or complete their prerequisites at Chatt State.

    I have been a dual enrollment student at Chattanooga State for the last two years. I enjoyed all my classes. Anytime I have had to contact the school with any problems they have been very helpful. All my professors have been super awesome! Overall, my Chattanooga State experience has been wonderful and I am considering attending college there.
    In the Fall 2018 I decided to come back to college, although I had taken a certification class with a technical college, this was my first time back at school working towards my degree in 19 years.
    My experience here has been the absolute best, I have surpassed my goals and I'm involved with programs I never imagined such as Global Scholars. Chattanooga State has an excellent program and is a great starting place whether you're straight out of high school or an adult coming for the first time. They offer a large array of degree/certification programs, extra curricular activities and sports, and student support services such as tutoring.
